ANOTHER JAG GOES TO IR

The Jacksonville Jaguars are, in the words of our friend Emmitt Smith, getting debacled.

With center Brad Meester out for several more weeks and starting guard Vince Manuwai placed on injured reserve earlier this week, starting guard Mo Williams has been placed on IR on Wednesday.

Manuwai and Williams were injured against the Titans in Week One.

Coach Jack Del Rio did his best on Wednesday to appeal to fans to buy tickets and support the team. ‚ÄúWe absolutely need our crowd to give us a homefield advantage,‚ÄĚ Del Rio said, ‚Äúthat crowd noise and difficulty of operating on the road. We need it.‚ÄĚ

The game has not yet been sold out; thus, a local blackout is still possible for Sunday‚Äôs game against the Bills, where temperatures are expected to be in the 90s.

The AFC South might go from the most competitive division (or at least second behind the NFC East) to another version of the NFC West (where no one seems to want to win the division) due to injuries. I am considering moving Tennessee to my favorite to win the South with all the injuries to the Jags and Colts.

Well that just sucks. Just waiting for a couple of Steelers to go on IR, then we can pretty much officially say that every AFC contender has been nailed by injuries (though the Pats far worse than the others).
